It's now bringing out four new alcoholic mixed drinks which are sure to be popular over the summer.
They will come in the flavours Black Grape, Fruit Punch, Pineapple and Karnival Twist.
Each of the drinks will have Ka's popular flavours mixed with Caribbean white rum.
The 330ml cans will be sold for £2.79.
The soft drink version is usually sold for between 60p and 80p. They launched in Wholesalers first and will be landing on convenience store shelves next week.
AG Barr, which owns Ka, said the new range was aimed at shoppers "looking to spontaneously grab drinks - whether en route to a social occasion, to be enjoyed at the park, or at a festival with friends".
And with the weather heating up ahead of this weekend, it's perfect timing.
Forecasters have said parts of southern England, including London, could see temperatures reach 28C on Friday evening.
Numerous brands have been racing to bring out new alcoholic canned drinks for the summer.
Shoppers have been going wild for the latest collection of tinnies from M&S, which include favourites such as mojitos, pina coladas and cosmos.

There's also a mint and elderflower Hugo Spritz and a Limoncello Spritz.
Meanwhile Lidl is selling pre-mixed cocktail cans for the bargain price of 89p.
They include flavours like the Bitterol Spritz, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito and Pina Colada.
Rival Aldi brought out a similar range starting at 99p.
Their tinnies include Hard Seltzers and Spicy Margaritas.
